Chapter 323: The Piercing Beast Seeks to Be Complete

Human beings are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and although the population base is large, it is always a small number of people who have the spirit of challenging and innovating.

Ancient humans followed the buttocks of other omnivores, observed what they ate, and then decided what they could eat and what they could not eat, even later in the era of industrial science, humans were accustomed to experimenting with other organisms.

In short, being suspicious of one's body is not a trait brought about by human genes.

Therefore, Shennong, who tasted a hundred herbs, was praised as the ancestor by human beings.

But risks and opportunities coexist, and those who dare to be the first to eat crabs are often able to become leaders.

But is the leader a fire thief who holds the torch high by the pathfinder, or is it an experiment pushed out by the public at the back?

But in any case, in a social animal system, leaders are inevitable, and they have nothing to do with civilization, but with nature.

The Buyeong people are a fishing and hunting people, so as long as the animals in the mountains and forests by the sea, rivers and mountains, they have basically eaten them, and then Shennong has the mentality to judge what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.

Seafood and river products, if processed at high temperatures, are basically edible, except for a few highly poisonous creatures.

However, the ancients did not understand that there must be two conditions for high-temperature disinfection to achieve the effect, one is the temperature of the action, and the other is the time of action.

When water reaches its boiling point, it can kill a large number of bacteria, microorganisms and parasites after boiling, which is called the acting temperature.

However, there are many bacteria and microorganisms that need to boil for more than three minutes to achieve a complete sterilization effect, especially some bacteria that can cause intestinal diseases.

Fishermen and hunters naturally live and cook, but they judge the standard of food maturity, most of the time it is judged by taste and blood stains, when the food produces a roasted aroma, they think it can be eaten, but in fact, the food at this time, most of them are in a half-cooked state, and they are most likely to be infected with bacteria and parasites.

Moreover, in ancient times, especially in ancient times, ignition mainly relied on drilling wood to make fire.

The wood drilled in ancient times changes at any time of the year according to the different seasons.

Zhou Liyue decree stipulates: use willow in spring, jujube apricot and mulberry in summer, oak tree in autumn, and locust sandalwood in winter, which is called "changing the fire" or "more fire".

Because the ancients believed that only according to the color of the wood, matching with the four seasons, can you get fire, and vice versa. In other words, every time the season changes, it must be renewed.

In the Southern Dynasties, it was still practiced to drill wood to make fire, but the custom of "changing fire" was canceled and the wood was not changed.

There is also a kind of fire called Jin Sui, that is, borrowing fire from the sun, which was also called Yang Sui at that time, using a bronze mirror to make fire from the sun, and also using mugwort to ignite the fire.

。 Zhou Lizai: Qiu Guan avoided the torch and was responsible for using the "Fu Sui" to take an open flame from the sun. Fu Sui is a kind of utensils used by the ancients to make fire under the sun.

It is a culet made of metal and placed in the sun so that the light gathers at the culet of the cup.

At the bottom of the cup, mugwort and velvet are placed first, and the fire can be ignited when it encounters light. Therefore, Fu Sui is Jin Sui.

The examination records the method of using gold and tin as a mirror, and its concave face to the sun to make fire. It can be seen that Huaxia had the technology of using optical principles to make fire 4,000 years ago.

The last one is the well-known stone knocking fire, that is, flint and steel, which was a way of life that was not popularized until the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The pre-Qin Central Plains basically relied on drilling wood for fire, not to mention the more backward Buyeo.

Drilling wood to make fire sounds simple, but the actual operation is very time-consuming and laborious, prehistoric human beings have a special way to preserve the fire, which is the origin of the official position of the earliest Zhurong, but the preservation of the fire is only suitable for settled tribes, can not be carried, fishing and hunting sometimes the hunting range will be very large, the hunting team often has to go out for a week or so, can not carry the fire with them plus life difficulties.

It was easy to make a fire in the country of Guzhu, in addition to Wang Xu's lighter, there were also bows and drills for special daily use, and later oil lamps to preserve fire.

But for these hunters who can't carry fire and advanced tools with them, most of the time, breakfast and dinner will be laborious to drill wood to make fire, and the rest of the time, they basically sleep in the open, and the most they eat is raw meat.

In this process, the fishermen and hunters found that although the food in the river is similar to that in the sea, they are all fish, shrimp, crabs, shells, etc., but the things in the river will grow worms in the stomach to death, and he does not understand the concept of microorganisms and parasites, so he calls it a curse or an evil demon.

Over time, it is natural not to eat such creatures.

Therefore, when the Buyeong people found out that the Lone Bamboo people dared to eat the things in the river, they had a schadenfreude attitude, and the longer they got along, the more they found that the recipes of the Lone Bamboo People were complicated, and there were no things they did not eat that they thought were highly poisonous, such as snakes and insects.

And they didn't seem to be poisoning after eating it.

Not only the Buyeong people, but even Lu Ai, who was born in a medical family in the Central Plains, was a little confused.

So at first, the Buyeong people did not eat the food distributed by the Lone Bamboo people, but only ate the food and what they thought they could eat, but over time, the aroma of the food that they had never tasted was like a demon's whisper to tempt them.

Gradually, some people began to try, and the door to a new world was opened.

It has to be said that the source of human progress is the n for food, and this n is enough to support human breakthroughs again and again.

Among the thousands of Buyeo teenagers under the age of fourteen that Zhai Qiu collected, there was a child named Falcon, who was a hunter in the Xuanwu Division, and because he had a special talent in throwing stones since he was a child, he was named by the patriarch and regarded as a key training.

The falcon is less than 1.5 meters tall, with a dark and thin but strong body, very developed arms and chest muscles, two ribs are very prominent, and the face was stabbed by the wizard, which looks a little strange, but the sharp temperament on the body is very prominent.

When Zhai Qiu saw him for the first time, he liked him very much, so Falcon was the first batch of platoon commanders who were allowed by Zhai Qiu to go out hunting and surveying.

There are forty-five people in a row in the Lone Bamboo Country, and the falcon has taken these forty-five people to the mountains within a radius of several miles in the past few days, and the hot spring that Wang Xu soaked in is what they discovered.

At the same time, he was also the first person to accept Zhai Qiu's kindness and eat a meal of slate-roasted fish.

Ever since eating it, Hayabusa has been curious about anything that can be slate-burned.

In the legends of the Buyeo people, in addition to the cursed animals in the river, the most inedible thing in the forest is a monster called the Piercing Bone Beast, which is much smaller than the wolf, but the thorns on its body are extremely hard, and it will take the initiative to attack when it encounters danger, and it will be extremely painful after being attacked by the thorns.

So the Buyeo people will not hunt this kind of monster, the first is that this monster looks okay in size, at least larger than a hare, but in fact there is not much meat, and it is very fierce, and the hunting casualties are serious, it is not cost-effective, it is better to catch rabbits or wild deer.

So the ancestors of Buyeo deliberately deified and totemized this bone-piercing beast.

Hayabusa had suffered from this monster when he was young, so he had always been afraid of this monster, and at the same time, he was also curious about what this monster that no one had ever eaten tasted like.

In the past, he would not have thought about whether this thing could be eaten, but since he found out that in the Lonely Bamboo Country, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, and he has become interested in hunting this monster.

Especially after hearing yesterday that there will be nobles coming here to soak in the hot springs, Hayabusa wants to show his loyalty and show his strength by hunting this totem monster.

It is also commonly known as the name of the petition.

So before dawn, he took a few members of the team he selected to search for traces of the Bone Beast all over the mountains.

Eventually, a nest of six was found in a cave, and the falcon chose to break them one by one by diverting the tigers from the mountain.

Although Zhai Qiu did not equip the falcon with a bow and arrow, but gave him some flying knives made of waste materials as a weapon, wanting to use throwing stones to smash these piercing beasts, it is difficult to break the defense at a distance, and it is easy to be injured when it is close, if it was before, the falcon would definitely not dare to take risks, but since he had a flying knife, he felt that except for another kind of stone armor beast, there was no animal in this forest that he could not shoot.

Touching the thorns of the Bone Beast, which were nearly 15 centimeters hard, Hayabusa's face showed a strange expression.

What if you make an arrow cluster out of this stuff?

However, compared to Hayabusa's cranky thoughts, the other teenagers were embarrassed, as they were still a little worried that killing these biting beasts might lead to a curse.

"Platoon commander, is it really okay for us to hunt the Thorn Beast?" A teenager with bird feathers on his head asked.

Hayabusa came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled, "We hunted the Thorn Beast to dedicate it to the King of Lone Bamboo, and even if there is a problem, it is not our problem. ”

The others were stunned when they heard this, and the expressions on the faces of several who reacted quickly were much more relaxed.

"It's sunset, we need to hurry back." Hayabusa carefully plucked a few thorns from the bone-spinning beast, then loaded the body into the wooden sled cart he had brought with him, and walked back with the team.

Before the sun set, he rushed to the hot spring where Wang Xu was bathing, and was stopped by the Shennu Guard.

Looking at the golden armor on the Shennuwei, the gorgeous scabbard and quiver pinned to his waist, and the bow and arrow behind him, the falcon showed a look of yearning in his eyes, opened the wooden sled cart, pointed to the bloody corpse of the stinging beast that was bumping all the way inside, and began to communicate with the Shennuwei.

The Shennuwei themselves are not good at communicating, they generally only obey orders, and they can't understand Falcon's Buyeo words, so the two sides fall into the embarrassing situation of drawing and guessing.

At this time, Wang Xu, who had taken a bath, came out of the cave and looked at the Shennu surrounding a group of naked Buyeo teenagers and frowned slightly.

Zhai Qiu, who followed closely, also saw the falcon in the crowd at a glance, bowed down and said, "Chen, go deal with it." ”

"It looks like it's supposed to be a hunter, why don't you have a military uniform?" Wang Xu frowned.

"It's matched, and I can't bear to wear it." Zhai Qiu shook his head: "The minister will come when he goes." ”

After speaking, Zhai Qiu trotted over, separated from the Shennu Guard, looked at the falcon and frowned, and said, "What to do?" ”

Seeing Zhai Qiu, Falcon was obviously relieved, pointed to the stinging beast in the wooden sled, knelt on the ground and danced in the direction of Wang Xu.

Zhai Qiu looked inside and frowned, he hadn't seen this kind of animal with thorns on its body, but he hadn't seen such a big one, but he didn't care, and he could understand what the falcon was doing, and waved his hand to signal that the falcon could go.

The falcon was a little anxious, holding the thorn of the bone beast, pointing to the quiver of the divine slave, and making an archery gesture again.

Zhai Qiu was slightly stunned, took the thorn in his hand, and pinched it slightly, but he didn't pinch it.

"The stings of a porcupine? There's a porcupine here, weird. At this time, Wang Xu's chuckle came from behind him.

The falcon looked up and saw Wang Xu, and his eyes burst out with a strange brilliance again.
